Document type: Plaintiff’s Notice of Nonsuit Without Prejudice

Filed: February 23, 2024

Court: 284th Judicial District Court, Montgomery County, Texas

Cause: 23-07-10483-CV

Style: The Wharf at Clear Lake Slip Maintenance Association, Inc. v. Eric Springstun

What this document is

This is the Association’s own filed notice stating that it no longer wished to continue pursuing its affirmative claims against Eric Springstun in Cause 23-07-10483-CV.

Context before the Association withdrew its claims

The broader chronology began shortly after Springstun’s 2022–2023 board service ended. Association counsel issued a cease-and-desist on June 27, 2023; the Association filed the injunction action in July; and after contested temporary-injunction proceedings the court docket records an August 31, 2023 Order Denying Temporary Injunction.

The Association had filed the case against Eric Springstun in July 2023 seeking injunctive and declaratory relief. After a temporary restraining order, the court held the requested temporary-injunction hearing and denied the Association’s request for a temporary injunction on August 31, 2023. The Association later filed this February 2024 Notice of Nonsuit.

That sequence is important to the public record: the Association was the plaintiff, it did not obtain the requested temporary injunction after hearing, and it later voluntarily stopped pursuing its own affirmative claims against Eric Springstun.

Key language

The filing states that the Plaintiff “no longer wishes to pursue claims and causes of action” in the case and invokes Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 162 to nonsuit those claims without prejudice.

What the filing did

The Notice of Nonsuit ended the Association’s then-pending affirmative claims against Eric Springstun in that action without prejudice. The court later signed an order granting the nonsuit.

What the filing did not do

The nonsuit did not dispose of Eric Springstun’s then-pending counterclaims. Those counterclaims continued after the Association’s nonsuit and were later addressed through summary-judgment proceedings.

The temporary-injunction denial is independently reflected in the record

The court docket records an August 31, 2023 Order Denying Temporary Injunction. The Association’s own April 24, 2024 summary-judgment motion later recited the same procedural fact: after the initial TRO, the court denied the Association’s Temporary Injunction on August 31, 2023.

Why this document matters

Short descriptions of the case can make it sound as though every claim and counterclaim ended in one judgment. The actual record is more specific: the Association voluntarily stopped pursuing its own affirmative claims, while Eric Springstun’s counterclaims remained for later adjudication.

The nonsuit also followed an earlier favorable ruling for Springstun. The Association had filed the case and asked for a temporary injunction; after the August 31, 2023 hearing, the trial court denied that request. Months later, the Association itself stated that it no longer wished to pursue its affirmative claims.

That sequence makes the nonsuit especially important to a fair public record: Association-initiated suit → denied temporary injunction → Association voluntarily withdraws its own claims.
